WATE-6 serves up a video report on the Manhunt 2 controversy.
Reporter Harlow Sumerford reviews the issues surrounding the game but the meat of his story focuses on the use of the Wii controller to simulate Manhunt 2's violent movements.

It will all die down by next week. No one will care by then as they will have moved on to the next sensationalist item.
If you don't want your kids to have it....DON"T GET IT FOR THEM.
Simple I know, but common sense seems to be severely lacking with these "watchdog" extremist groups and ratings hungry news types.
i hope when the next really violent horror movie comes out, the media urge parents to take a second look before taking their kids to see it.
Haven't heard a thing here in Europe either.
The Nintendo Wii has Parental Controls. The parent has the ability to block out the game.
Agreed =)

Correct. I guess it might teach someone to kill with throwing knives or something...
All I really see wrong with it is that it's more likely to cause Wiimote-through-the-screen incidents =)
Is that a jab at the reported flying Wiimotes? :)
actually finished your comments and I must say I feel sheepish now. :S
Most parents aren't going to care about the parental controls. Sadly a lot of parents won't even give a damn about what thier kids got some grown ups to buy for them. And sadly it isnt the games fault for bad kids upbringing, it's the parents.
Anyway, this report was pretty fair and straight forward....though I wish they didnt go straight to the parents for questions. And the mother talking baout not letting her 17-year old buy the game..hahaha. Otherwise, they put it on the button, Manhunt 2 is a crappy game (from the reviews I read, and the only thing people will find interesting about is the violence.
For a good violent game, buy Dementium for the DS.
Just because it has motion controls doesn't mean they accurately recreate the actual motions. Which I don't need a game to teach me, by the way, I am fully aware of how to stab someone without Manhunt 2.
For our friends in the "moral majority:"
Your ficticious and backwards moral creed holds no influence over myself and others who reject your superstition. We see nothing immorral, hurtful, or wrong with interactive graphical depictions of violence and sex. These depictions do not harm anyone.
Please, capitalise Gestapo. Or, better yet, replace it with the Waffen SS.
